Escorted Rail Tours to Montreal

Enjoy the charming 18th century old town

With its varied history and mixed influences from a number of
different countries, Montreal boasts a rich cultural heritage.
After being settled by French colonists in 1642, Montreal was taken
by the British in the 1750s. Though there was a strong resentment
among many of the citizens, the city nevertheless emerged as the
major economic, financial and transportation hub of Canada. This
ushered in a new era of wealth, and during this time much of the
stunning architecture seen in the city today was built. Today,
Montreal offers many interesting museums and beautiful green
spaces, and the city remains a favoured tourist spot.

Vieux Montreal

Montreal's Old Town is an area of immaculately restored
buildings and pretty cobbled streets. Brimming with charming cafés
and inviting restaurants, it has some of the best examples of 18th
century architecture in all of North America - and a visit here
seems almost essential.

Notre Dame Cathedral

When completed in 1829, this was North America's largest
religious building. From the outside alone, the building is
impressive, but its dazzling interior of gold leaf, and
stained-glass windows is simply breathtaking. In fact, the
cathedral's designer was so impressed with his masterpiece that he
converted to Catholicism so he could be buried there.

Mount Royal

A great green space affording magnificent views over the city
below, as well as a fine expanse of parkland to wander about in.
Among the highlights of the park is St Joseph's Oratory, a
magnificent basilica that has become an important American
pilgrimage destination.

McCord Museum of Canadian History

A highly enjoyable museum detailing some of Canada's story -
from the First Nation People's materials and carvings to
photographs from the early 20th century. Named after the man who
made the museum possible, the museum is one of Montreal's
best-loved attractions.

Good itinerary - went to right places and enough time in each. All hotels very good. The rail journey cabins are a little cramped but there's nothing you can do about that (no alternative carrier?). Everything around tour was well organised and tour manager did a very good job

Happy Birthday Mr President! No, we're not talking about the current one, we're talking about the original. The number one. The man who started it all: George Washington, who is celebrated on Presidents Day, that took place on the 19th of February this year. What better way to celebrate his country than having a look at some of its most spectacular natural wonders?

Canada turns 150 in 2017, and across the 'Great White North' celebrations are taking place. Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the British North America Act of 1867 that formed the basis of the Canadian Confederation we recognise today, the official date of modern Canada's birth is July 1st, but the entire year is being honoured throughout the country.
